| The
interior design house of Miguel Cancio Martins, famous for the creation
of Buddha Bar and Man Ray in Paris as well as Opium in London and
the Alain Ducasse Crystal restaurant within Pacha in Marrakech, has
been employed to design and furnish the space with a mixture of ultra
modern architectural features and beautiful Asian antiquities. Miguel

to a ‘secret’ unique place in East Manchester. |

windows on two sides. The restaurant has a beautiful black lacquered
floor, a vast varnished timber ceiling, maroon walls, coral sculptures
breaking up the space, custom-designed tables and chairs as well as
pearl curtains and Asian artwork decorating the walls, a dramatic
visual feast. |

the large space of Cinnabar is decorated in burnt orange and red hues
with a multitude of elegant paper lampshades, stunningly colourful
linear carpet and a sculpture of Buddha heads at its centre that descends
through the floor to feature in the main Vermilion restaurant as well.
Most interesting of all however is the six ‘cocoon beds’
set around the space, these semi-private structures enable customers
to recline in the utmost comfort and seclusion in the middle of what
is one of Manchester’s most stylish drinking destinations |
 |

| "We've
vistied Vermilion three times now; once for a quick lunch, once to
entertain business clients and another for a romantic evening. On
each occassion it has fitted the bill perfectly and delivered consistently
good food and service.
As you'd expect for a restaurant costing £4.5 million and designed
by Miguel Cancio Martins, famous for Man Ray in Paris, the interior
is breathtaking.
Vermilion is an excellent restaurant and whilst it sells itself as
a destination restaurant, it's close enough to Piccadilly (only 5
minutes in a taxi) to offer a great alternative to city centre dining...
there's plenty here to
impress
